1. While The Witches Burn

[Music & lyrics: V. Leff]

While the witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of lies, ignorance and greed
Hide deep in your heart, your secrets,
Your thoughts and your life
If you want to stay alive

Be humble and submissive
This is your only right
Without a cry
Without a sigh
Without a word of pride

Be patient don't breathe a word
You are too weak to fight
You have no choice
You have no voice
You have nowhere to hide

[The Inquisitor:]
«Confess your sins Daughter
And now behold the Light
Let the Holy flames purify your soul
And pray our merciful Lord»

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears

All my power lies
In the magic of bearing a child
In the magic of giving life.
Why do you hunt me down,
Perpetuate that ritual crime
Quenching your thirst for cries

Now look right into my eyes
I have no spell to cast
I am no witch
I am no devil
I am no slave of God

[The Inquisitor:]
«Confess your sins Daughter
And now behold your Lord
We'll break your resilience
No matter how long you fight»

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears

[The Inquisitor:]
«Confess your sins Daughter
Don't resist
You're a slave to our power
Granted by our Lord
We'll break your resilience
No matter how long you fight»

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears

2. Tears Of A Hopeless God

[Music & lyrics: V. Leff]

Jour de colère que ce jour là
Qui réduira la Terre en cendres

If there's a god somewhere in the skies
What does he think of the mankind he crated
If there's a god somewhere in this world
What does he think of those who kill in his name

«why are you killing each other in my name?
What are these words you say I did proclaim?
How did you think that you'd be saved on
The colour of your skin the colour of your heart»

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
Too late the dice have been cast
It's all carved right into our hearts

If there's a heaven somewhere above us
Is it really worth the pain and the dead
If there's a hell somewhere below us
Is it really worse than the mass graves and the camps

How could you ever remain silent and blind
To the atrocities the torture and the pain
Why have you crated man in your own image
How could it justify the slaughters and the crimes

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
Too late the dice have been cast
It's all carved right into our hearts

Miscreatur nostri deus. Sicut erat in principio.
Et nune et semper et in saecula saeculorum

A seed of dream in a hopeless world
Has been carefully sowed in our hearts,
While we threw our beliefs to the wind,
And reaped the whirlwind.
Let's give it a chance to grow now.
Despite all odds we might rekindle a flame in the night.

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
But still inside our heart
A flame of hope is burning right here in the night

3. Let's Play With Fire

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: M. Morin, V. Leff]

Démons Dieux et Diables
Idiles de pierre et de marbre
Le sang et les larmes abreuvent la soif de vos armes
Combien d'enfants faudra-t'il vous sacrifier encore?

Broken by a world that doesn't walk
The same pace as mine
Broken by betrayals, treacheries and lies
Broken by the fear of what's waiting for me
Beyond my terrestrial life
Broken by those one track minded moralizers

Can't we break free from superstition and lies
Why are these men putting
These strange ideas in their mind?

Let's play with fire tonight
Let's pretend we don't feel the burn of our skin
Let's play with winterly ice
Let's pretend we don't feel the frost on our lips
Let's play with devils and gods
Let's pretend men could leave religion to the past

Broken by puppeteers pulling the strings
From beyond the sky
Broken like a doll too worn and torn apart
Broken by the hatred and the howling injustice of men
Broken is the trust I put in Human Kind

Can't you see we are all the same in this world
Why do we need those crutches
To stand up and face our life

Let's play with fire tonight
Let's pretend we don't feel the burn of our skin
Let's play with winterly ice
Let's pretend we don't feel the frost on our lips
Let's play with fire and sparks
Let's pretend we don't feel the bite in our flesh
Let's play with devils and gods
Let's pretend men could leave religion to the past

4. Eve's Last Daughter

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: R. Morin, M. Rouyer, V. Leff]

Oh Eve behold the tears of your last daughter on earth
And pray for her children forever lost

She's walking through empty streets
Dragging her feet on the ground
Her stare meets nothing but death
Lifeless silhouettes all around

While smoke is shrouding the town
Flames are consuming her house
Ashes are filling the air
Leaving a taste of death in her mouth

Why did men wreak death on their brothers?
We built our own pyre

Oh Eve behold the tears of your last daughter on earth
Left alone in a world lain to waste
She prays and she cries
For her children forever lost

She's clinging to memories
Of happiness and hope
Laughters, distant and dull
Seem so far away in the past

And she can't see any light
Darkness swallowing her heart
Fallen from the Garden of Eden
Thrown down to vultures and to wolves

There's no one left here anymore
No one to save, no one to love

5. Don't Try To Blind Me

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: R. Morin, V. Leff]

In a world drumming another beat
In a stride of a different pace
I can't believe in God my friend
I can't believe in angels
I'm not afraid of going to Hell

Don't try to blind me with your light
Don't need a god to lead me through time
Don't need a friend to cut through the night
Don't try to blind me with easy promises of afterlife

But strangely there's a void inside my mind
Nothing seems to help me fill the gap
I've lost my faith in God, disgusted by religion
I lost my hope in Humankind

Don't try to blind me with your light
Don't need a god to lead me through time
Don't need a friend to cut through the night
Don't try to blind me with easy promises of afterlife

6. The Mask

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: R. Morin, M. Rouyer]

They've been cheating you from the start
How could you be so blind to all the signs
It was all written in their eyes
And now you stand alone and betrayed
By the puppeteers behind

They had it all planned in their mind
They virtuously played their favourite part
They sowed the doubt inside your heart
To isolate you from the real life

They show you nothing but a mask
Their beautiful words and their smile
Are nothing but a hideous lie
Oh they tell you all you want to hear
Now tear down their mask and let's see

You were too young much too weak to fight
So vulnerable fragile and innocent
An easy prey for those who feed
On the human distress of our lonely lives

They show you nothing but a mask
Their beautiful words and their smile
Are nothing but a hideous lie
Oh they tell you all you want to hear
Now tear down their mask and let's see

My heart is bleeding as I see
What you've become now they control your mind
Oh how I'd like to break the spell
And hold you tight again, my long lost friends

Now tear down their mask and come with me

7. Asylum Of Eden

[Music & lyrics: V. Leff]

Can you see the walls all around
Can you feel the strings right on your arms
Can you hear the roar of the crowd
They're all waiting for their dreams to come alive

Will you drink that bitter cup of wine
To the dregs of regrets remorse and lies
The air is cold and it's freezing your mind
The room is dark and you can see no way out

We lost the key
But still we're waiting
For the answers

We lost our words
But still we speak
And still we argue

We learnt to cry
We learnt to hide
We learnt to lie
We learnt to die

Take me away from this hideous madness
Far from the Asylum of Eden

We are all prisoners in a gilded cage
Waiting for our destiny
Betrayed by our beloved gods
Why should we care about what we'll become in the end
We have nothing left to lose and even less to gain

Can you hear that voice in your head
Telling you what to think, to feel, to say
Don't you know that you lost your free will
Long ago, thrown to vultures, gods and devils

Can you feel how they're controlling your mind
You're the toy of a temperamental child
But you're trapped with no hope and no way out
Welcome to the Asylum of Eden

We lost our mind
But still we hope
For our redemption

We lost our faith
But still we hope
For our salvation

We learnt to howl
We learnt to whine
We learnt to fight
We learnt to die

Let me escape from the walls
Surrounding my mind
Let me have a dream
That's really mine

We are all prisoners in a gilded cage
Waiting for our destiny
Betrayed by our beloved gods
Why should we care about what we'll become in the end
We have nothing left to lose and even less to gain

We lost our gods
But still we strive
To stay alive

We lost our dream
But still we're looking
For its meaning

We learnt to hope
We learnt to love

Let us deny the shadows
Surrounding our dreams
We will find a way to overcome our fears

We are all prisoners in a gilded cage
Waiting for our destiny
Betrayed by our beloved gods
Why should we care about what is to come in the end
We have nothing left to lose but forever hope remains

8. Waking Up The Titans

[Music & lyrics: V. Leff]

Gaïa Ouranos Atlas Prometheus
Chronos Hyperion
Come to me now

«Viens avec nous
Viens donne-moi la main
Souffrir ne sert à rien
Ton combat est vain»

This battle was lost from the start
No truce with that enemy inside
I fought that war before
The same wounds
And the same deadly conclusion

Wake up! Titans by my side!
Break up God's curse of humankind

O hopeless world
O hated gods
O Wake up the Titans
Stand up and fight

The riddle was rigged again from the start
No key it's just an illusion
I've read this all before
The same book
With the same foolish stories

Stand up! Read between the line
Speak up! Reject all their lies

O hopeless world
O hated gods
O Wake up the Titans
Stand up and fight

Lost in a world between death and life
I'm not afraid of the darkest night
I feel so cold inside
I'm waiting for your light

I've seen their face of stone in the dark
I don't believe in heaven or hell
I lived that life before
The same Gods
With the same foolish beliefs

Wake up! Titans by my side!
Break up God's curse of humankind

O hopeless world
O hated gods
O Wake up the Titans
And let Gods die

9. Theory Of Life

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: X. Corrientes, M. Rouyer, V. Leff]

Theory of life, divine intervention
Of result of chance
Statistical happenstance?
Time after time I wonder why we're here
Lost in a world bound to collapse on us

Science — will you help us to survive?
Science — of destroy the Human Kind?

When I was a child I used to be afraid
In a world endangered by the reckless pride of men
In a world where profit egoism and thoughtlessness
Are a plague and the common roots
Of what they call «progress»

Born in the wealth of our western world
I never suffered from hunger of from thirst
Closing my eyes I can't erase the pictures
Of suffering and pain of agonizing children

Silence — for the good of Human Kind
Silence — until the end of time

When I was a child I used to be afraid
In a world endangered by the reckless pride of men
In a world where profit egoism and thoughtlessness
Are a plague and the common roots
Of what they call «progress»

Look at us now
Your own creation
How we grew up
Stronger than Gods and Devils

Theory Of Life,
Cradled by fear of death
We're mortal toys
In your hands.

Tell me it's not too late to change
The plot of that absurd tragedy
Don't tell me it's already sealed
Everything's written by the hand
By the hand of men

When I was a child I used to be afraid
In a world endangered by the reckless pride of men
In a world where profit egoism and thoughtlessness
Are a plague and the common roots
Of what they call «progress»

10. Where Are The Angels

[Music & lyrics: V. Leff]

Deus Dominus
Sanctus spiritus
Occulta tuas lacrimas
Deus Dominus
Misereatur nostri Dominus Deus
Where are the angels of Destiny

Lost in an endless nightmare of pain
Wherever I turn my eyes I see children slain
Hate and despair has spread in our hearts
Fire is raining down over humankind

Where are your trumpets
To overcome these walls
Where are your miracles,
And the hope we're dying for?

Where are your angels of Destiny?
Where are the Saviours of your soul?
Where are your white Wings of Mercy
When you're lost in despair
While blood is pouring down
Like red rain all over the world?

We spoiled, we looted the treasures of Earth
Soiling, corrupting anything that we touch
We turn our eyes from the seeds that we sow
Knowing the harvest our children will have to reap

Mankind is bound to
Vanish from the Earth
Too late to shed our tears
Satan's waiting for the feast

Where are your angels of Destiny?
Where are the Saviours of your soul?
Where are your white Wings of Mercy
When you're lost in despair
While blood is pouring down
Like red rain all over the world?

Where are the angels
The saviours of our world?
Where are the angels
The saviours of our souls?

11. Pandora's Tears

[Lyrics: V. Leff, music: M. Ruhlmann, V. Leff, R. Morin]

There's a jar hidden in the shadows
Waiting in the silence of the night
Pay attention to the writing on its side
Made of blood of suffering and of lies

Have you felt its call in the dark
Have you heard the hoarse breath of hell's guards
Have you seen the darkness kill the light
Have you felt destruction and death inside?

Never trust the gods and their angels
They like to play with your desires and your life
They put a deadly toy in your innocent hands
Scoffing at you as you opened the jar of lies

Pandora's tears have fallen on the world of my dreams
Pandora's sin has seeped into the blood of our veins
Pandora's legacy is carved in our hearts

Lying on the ground with that box in your hand
You could not read the warning signs at all
«Open me» said a voice inside your head
«Let me grant you eternity and love»

It's a lie don't open that jar
Can't you see the obscene treachery of gods
It's a like don't you know what's inside
You're to unleash the curse of Human Kind

Too late, it was written in the stars
If only I could change the choices of the past
But you would be surprised
By what's hidden between the lies
Since hope remained hidden inside the cursed jar
